Warriors from various intelligent races boarded the cosmic battleships one after another.
One cosmic battleship after another ascended from the ground to the sky, heading towards the Southwest Star Realm of the Milky Way Galaxy.
...
Small Magellanic Cloud.
The Eternal King was communicating with the Prophet.
The Eternal King, unable to suppress a delightful expression, said, "Honorable Prophet, I just received news from the front lines that the Galaxy Alliance seems to have taken the bait. They are mobilizing a massive force to the Southwest Star Realm of the Milky Way Galaxy, preparing to engage in the final battle with our Eternal Motion Race’s warriors."
At this moment, the Prophet was not appearing on a virtual screen but was incarnated within a humanoid robot.
If anyone saw the appearance of this humanoid robot, they would be shocked to find that it looked exactly like Lu Li.
Indeed, although the Prophet desperately wished to kill Lu Li, it deeply admired him, so instinctively it created a humanoid robot that looked exactly like Lu Li to incarnate in.
The Prophet revealed a sinister smile and said, "It’s good they took the bait. With the military strength of the Galaxy Alliance, they’re no match for us over here. Therefore, Lu Li will definitely show up. At that time, all you need to do is have your army pretend to be defeated and retreat towards the Large Magellanic Cloud. Once Lu Li and the Galaxy Alliance’s military chase you to the Large Magellanic Cloud, I will send them a shocking gift. They will undoubtedly be pleasantly surprised. Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho."
It ended with a villainous, triumphant laugh.
The Eternal King flattered, "Prophet, you’re the God of Technology. While Lu Li may be some Planet Guardian God, he doesn’t possess your boundless intellect, toyed with as if he were in your hands. Ultimately, he will meet his end in the Large Magellanic Cloud, and then the entire cosmos will have only you as the sole deity."
The Prophet, feeling pleased by the flattery, smiled broadly and said, "Alright, less with the flattery, make sure to get things done right and there will be no shortage of benefits for you later on."
While it said this, secretly it was smirking coldly inside, planning to deal with Lu Li and then have the Eternal Motion Race invade the Milky Way Galaxy. At that point, it would suddenly switch sides to the Galaxy Alliance, acting as the "savior."
The Eternal King had no idea it was already on the Prophet’s death list and blissfully replied, "Yes, sir!"
...
Large Magellanic Cloud.
An hour had quickly passed on the planet.
Lu Li, who had been standing like a stone statue, suddenly opened his eyes.
A slight smile appeared on his face, "The deep evolution has finally arrived!"
The next moment, Lu Li’s entire body erupted with endless golden light, illuminating the entire planet.
In this instant, the planet, devoid of any life, seemed wrapped in a golden glow, dazzling and resplendent.
If someone were observing from space, they would undoubtedly notice that the golden light from this planet was even more intense than that of a star.
As the golden light surged from within, Lu Li’s body suddenly shattered, seemingly disappearing without a trace.
Indeed, his body truly disappeared.
Because Lu Li had switched to the "will" form.
This deep evolution was completely different from every previous one.
It was no longer limited to physical evolution but was about evolving his will.
The golden light was pure energy erupting from within Lu Li.
This pure energy was compressed and kept within a stable range.
If not controlled by his "will," this energy could cause unimaginable destruction, considering it held the power of ten thousand stars.
Lu Li would certainly not leave this energy uncontrolled.
He did this, not for fear of causing destruction to the Large Magellanic Cloud.
After all, nearly all life here had perished, so what harm would destruction bring?
Lu Li controlled the energy of ten thousand stars because he needed to harness such vast energy for "evolution."
He guided this energy to converge within his "will."
A wonder unfolded naturally.
Thus, if his physical body were completely destroyed, although he could regenerate, it required reabsorption of energy, which was time-consuming.
Now, the "will" not only absorbed the energy but also "fused" with it as one.
Lu Li had a faint feeling that once this deep evolution was complete, even if his physical body were destroyed, it could instantly be restored, unlike before when he needed time to absorb energy and reconstruct his body.
This made him very satisfied.
"For me, this is definitely a massive enhancement."
He continuously guided the energy into his "will," storing it until it completely fused as one.
"The power of ten thousand stars is incredibly vast. I estimate it will take about ten Earth days for a complete fusion into the ’will.’"
Lu Li calculated and then felt a bit of anticipation, "This deep evolution—how much enhancement will it bring, and will it grant me some new superpowers?"
Though he was nearly "omniscient and omnipotent" in this universe, some things seemed impossible because of energy shortages, not lack of capability. However, the composition of the world he understood extended beyond just one universe.
In truth, beyond the universe, there existed even more inconceivable "worlds."
In this "complete world," he was not yet an "omniscient and omnipotent" entity.
Naturally, Lu Li longed to transcend beyond the cosmic rules.
To gain new superpowers, allowing him to surpass the supposed deities and reach an unfathomable realm.
"Better not dwell on these thoughts too much; otherwise, if the evolution doesn’t meet expectations, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."
He tried to maintain a level mind, avoiding overthinking.
Lu Li continued to guide the energy, initially not noticing any change in the "will."
As time passed, he gradually found that once a large amount of energy had fused with the "will," the world seemed to become miraculous.
For instance, previously, he required a vast force to break dimensional barriers, only then glimpsing the sight beyond this universe.
This time was somewhat different.
Lu Li discovered that as "will" strengthened, his "consciousness" seemed able to extend beyond the universe without breaking the dimensional barrier, allowing him to vaguely observe some vast scenes.
Though his vision remained somewhat blurry and short in distance, akin to peering through fog, barely glimpsing scenes in the neighboring universe, this marked a significant breakthrough for him.
Most importantly, Lu Li observed that the neighboring universe was entirely different from his own.
That universe had no so-called stars or planets, described by ancient people as "heavenly round and earthly square."
Yes, it was a bewildering universe.
The entire universe resembled an egg, connecting heaven and earth, sky above, ground below.
And the beings in that universe were also different from his own.
There were many intelligent species, but without exception, they were all bizarre "giants."
The shortest stood a few hundred meters tall.
Multiple-headed, four-armed ones were commonplace.
Some were directly formed by condensed "gas."
Lu Li observed briefly, somewhat surprised, "Is the cosmic model not fixed?"
Despite his curiosity, he withheld the urge to investigate, as now was not the time amidst deep evolution.
Moreover, given his current power, although he could vaguely see matters beyond dimensions, crossing them was still beyond him.
"I wonder if, upon completing my seventh deep evolution, I could conduct dimensional crossings. If so, that would be astonishing—I might even venture into the Fantasy World for a stroll."
Lu Li continually speculated on the abilities he would have upon completing the seventh deep evolution.
Though unable to predict them exactly now, one thing might be certain.
According to past experiences, the further the deep evolution, the greater the enhancement in all aspects.
This suggests that previously inconceivable or even unimaginable abilities may indeed surface after this deep evolution.
Lu Li silently hoped, "Hope it gives me a wonderful surprise."
